The fourth and final book in our launch list has landed. We’re thrilled to announce The Last Tiger—a breathtaking, wordless picture book by the talented Yunyi Dai.

Traditional. This means we pay an advance and/or royalties to our authors.

It's official, #SmallPitch comes back for another indie/small press-focused pitch event on July 7-8, 2025 🌊

This time, it will be open to all unagented authors from the #WritingCommunity.

We’re in the spotlight! ✨ Big thanks to #ibpa for featuring Rebel Goose. We shared how we got started, what we’re building, and how we’ve teamed up with Orca for national distribution.

We’re planning something big and looking for a #nonprofit to support. Any suggestions? Ideally a group that supports kids’ emotional wellbeing, creative confidence, or #neurodivergent youth who don’t always feel seen in traditional spaces.

Wooooooooo!!! Our first three titles are out in the world…and rumour has it, a fourth may be joining soon. 👀🪿Full catalogue and book details now up on our website.

Doing an AMA on our Instagram Story. Stop by to drop your questions about the publishing industry, kidlit, or starting a press! I’ll do my best to answer.

Because the book publishing industry needs more women of color behind the scenes. We’re woman-owned, minority-owned, and based in Canada. Follow for #booknews, #goosepuns, and what it takes to make inclusive #kidlit in a world that doesn’t always want it.

Seeing more predatory “publishers” lately. Hiring pros to self-publish? Smart. Paying a company just to be “chosen”? That’s a scam with nice branding.
Publishing should be a partnership—not a pay-to-play hustle. #writersbeware #protectindieauthors

There’s been a lot of noise about what kinds of minds are acceptable. Just to be clear: we stand with #neurodivergentkids. We publish books for the beautifully wired. Their stories matter. Their voices matter. And we’re here for all of it.

Welcome! We’re Rebel Goose Books—an #indiepublisher making books for young readers. Stories with heart, grit, and guts. Follow for #booknews, #goosepuns, behind-the-scenes chaos, and the reality of making #kidlit in Canada—in the midst of a trade war. Let’s ruffle some feathers.

Here’s a peek at some early sketches from Ayala. Her ability to capture movement and emotion? Unmatched. We can’t wait to share more from ‘The Way I Win.’ Follow along — we’re just getting started. #kidsbook #indiepublishing

Big news from Rebel Goose Books! We’ve teamed up with Vancouver illustrator Ayala Kaganovitch for our debut picture book, ‘The Way I Win: A JiuJitsu Story’ — about a boy who moves through the world differently, and learns that’s exactly what makes him strong. 💥🪿 #kidsbook #indiepublishing
